 BEF#B
My daddy told me, lookin back,
 EF#
 The best friend you'll have is a railroad track
 BEF#B
So when I was 13, I said, I'm rollin' my own
 EF#B
And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home

 B
And I'm lost
 E
And I'm lost
 BG#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
 BE
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
 BF#B
 I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

 BEF#B
 Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose
 EF#
 Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
 BEF#B
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
 EF#B
But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

 B
And I'm lost
 E
And I'm lost
 BG#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
 BE
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
 BF#B
 I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

 BEF#B
 Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
 EF#
The moon's the color of a coffee stain
 BEF#B
 jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
 EF#
 But who is the king of all these folks?

 B
And I'm lost
 E
And I'm lost
 BG#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
 BE
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
 BF#B
 I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

(Play riff A)

 BEF#B
Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
 EF#
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
 BEF#B
 Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
 EF#
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

 B
And I'm lost
 E
And I'm lost
 BG#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
 BE
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
 BF#B
 I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

(Play Riff A and B)

 BEF#B
Well God's green hair is where I slept last
 EF#
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
 BEF#B
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
 E
And when I wanna talk
 F#
He hangs on every word

 B
And I'm lost
 E
And I'm lost
 BG#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
 BE
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
 BF#B
 I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

(Play riff A 2x + fadeout)
